Plenty of weeds would probably give u a buzz if you smoked. pot heads will be potheads. Something has to be done to lift mexico's poverty, and take the power from the drug cartels. I'm sure someone smarter that me can work it out.

Have you ever pondered exactly what percentage of the donations received by - your party of choice - actually is used in a manner against these demands or used to promote the party, in a language other than English - for one example?

Specifically with the recent reports that Los Angeles County via County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, that the welfare benefit’s for the children of illegal immigrants cost more that $600 million last year?
